90万美元高薪招募AI产品经理，奈飞要取代好莱坞
奈飞（Netflix）的最新招聘广告正在招聘具备人工智能技能的人才，并且该公司愿意为适当的人才提供接近100万美元的年薪。奈飞机器学习平台（MLP）的产品经理将获得300,000至900,000美元薪酬，其职责是为该平台“制定战略愿景”，收集人工智能从业者的反馈，以及向利益相关者介绍他们的策略等。
随着投资者向ChatGPT等项目投入大量资金，并且愿意为了它的潜力而承担它出现漏洞或造成灾难性后果的风险，在这种趋势的带动下，最近出现了一批高薪人工智能岗位。这些资金的涌入创造出高达六位数薪酬的岗位，例如提示工程师的年薪高达335,000美元，职责是监控和协助类似于ChatGPT的产品。但这些高薪岗位却是以其他人失业为代价：ChatGPT已经使一些岗位消失，而一份最新报告显示，5月，人工智能相关创新已经使近4,000人失业。
生成式人工智能在娱乐业引起了广泛焦虑，而随着美国电视和广播艺人联合会（SAG-AFTRA）和美国编剧协会（WGA）针对公平薪酬和人工智能监管等问题发起罢工，奈飞的机器学习平台产品经理这种岗位尤其令人感到震惊（奈飞拒绝回复《财富》杂志的置评请求。）两个工会首次同时罢工是在数十年前的1960年代因薪酬问题发起的罢工。六十年后，演员和编剧们因为合同争议发起罢工。他们要求更高薪酬的主张，或许能引起老戏骨和新人们的共鸣，但流媒体二次薪酬和人工智能入侵等对于好莱坞老牌明星而言可能是奥威尔式的问题。
奈飞人工智能产品经理的薪酬，与美国电视和广播艺人联合会大多数（87%）会员年收入不到26,000美元的薪酬形成鲜明对比。Intercept指出，奈飞一个岗位的薪酬，与美国电视和广播艺人联合会大多数（87%）会员年收入不到26,000美元的薪酬形成鲜明对比。美国电视和广播艺人联合会的合同显示，群众演员的日薪只有约200美元。
与科技行业的白领岗位一样，演员和编剧均担心不受监控的人工智能可能永久改变他们的岗位、薪酬或整个行业。演员们争论的一点是，影视公司可能持续使用和控制他们的数字替身，这会导致他们缺乏自主权，并且工作的机会可能越来越少。编剧担心ChatGPT等工具可能成为编剧行业的主流，而他们最终可能沦落到以更低薪酬对自动生成的剧本进行编辑。
代表所有好莱坞影视公司的电影和电视制片人联盟（Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers，AMPTP）在5月向媒体发布的一份声明中表示，编剧希望在创作过程中使用人工智能但不想更改署名“是个复杂问题，因为人工智能生成的材料可能没有版权保护”，但他们“承诺”就此展开更多讨论。
奈飞的招聘广告还表明影视公司财力雄厚，只要他们愿意就可以支付更丰厚的薪酬。编剧们罢工的部分原因是过低的二次报酬让他们在沿海地区维持生计变得极其困难，但媒体大亨们却获得了数十亿美元的薪酬。奈飞最近宣布，其高管获得数百万美元红利。WGA West总裁梅雷迪思·斯蒂姆评论这条新闻称：“虽然投资者对于奈飞的高管薪酬问题一直存在分歧，但在罢工的大背景下，奈飞的薪酬结构显得更加惊人。”
这种现象在其他行业也非常普遍，因为疫情扩大了员工与CEO之间的薪酬差距。虽然最近高管薪酬暴涨的情况有所减少，但美联社和Equilar的数据显示，CEO的中位数年薪接近1,500万美元。美联社指出，这些公司的员工中位数薪酬为70,000美元区间的高位，这意味着他们需要工作186年才能赚到高管一年的收入。
明星或许不同于普通人，但他们的老板与其他行业的老板似乎并没有太大区别。（财富中文网）

In a new job ad, Netflix is calling for someone with A.I. chops—and they’re willing to shell out just shy of $1 million a year for the right person. The Product Manager for Netflix’s Machine Learning Platform (MLP) will earn anywhere from $300,000 to $900,000 for “defining the strategic vision” for MLP, getting feedback from A.I. practitioners, and presenting their strategies to stakeholders.
It’s part of a new wave of A.I. jobs that can be extremely lucrative, thanks to investors funneling money into projects like ChatGPT, willing to risk its potential for bugginess or catastrophic effects. This level of funding has created six-figure roles like prompt engineers who can be compensated as much as $335,000 a year for monitoring and assisting ChatGPT-like products. But these golden nugget positions can come at the cost of other workers; ChatGPT has already made some roles obsolete, and a new report shows that A.I. related innovations have already cost nearly 4,000 people their jobs in May.
Generative A.I. has sparked a lot of anxiety in the entertainment world, where a job like Netflix’s MLP product manager is especially striking given that the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strike regarding fair pay and A.I. regulations rages on (Netflix declined to Fortune’s request for comment). The two unions first walked out together decades ago in the 1960s over pay issues. Sixty years later, actors and writers walked out over contract disputes. Their concerns over better pay might strike a chord with older stars and starlets, but newer issues of streaming residuals and the intrusion of A.I. might seem Orwellian to Old Hollywood.
Netflix’s salary for it’s A.I. product manager role is a Goliath compared to the majority (87%) of SAG-AFTRA members who earn less than $26,000 a year, Netflix’s salary for one role is a Goliath compared to the majority (87%) of SAG-AFTRA members who earn less than $26,000 a year, as the Intercept points out. Background actors often take home only around $200 daily, according to the SAG-AFTRA contract.
Much like in the white-collar tech world, actors and writers alike express fears about how unmonitored A.I. might forever change their jobs, salaries, or sector entirely. One point of contention for actors is that their digital likeness could be used and controlled perpetually by the studios, leading to a lack of autonomy and potentially fewer gigs down the line. Writers have voiced concerns about how tools like ChatGPT might take over the screenwriting world and how their jobs might be whittled down to editing automated scripts for less money.
The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), which represents all of the Hollywood studios, sent a statement to the press in May that writers’ desire to use A.I. during the creative process without changing credits was “complicated given A.I. material can’t be copyrighted,” but that they’re “committed” to having more discussions about it.
The Netflix role also shows how deep studios’ pockets run when they want to pay up. While writers are picketing in part because of small residuals that make earning a living in coastal areas extremely difficult, media mogul pay has reached billions of dollars. Netflix itself recently shared the million-dollar bonuses its execs received. “While investors have long taken issue with Netflix’s executive pay, the compensation structure is more egregious against the backdrop of the strike,” WGA West president Meredith Stiehm wrote in response to said news.
It’s not all that different outside city of stars, as the pandemic helped widen the gap between workers’ and CEOs’ compensation. While the surge in salary for executives has ebbed a bit recently, the median CEO makes nearly $15 million a year, according to data from The Associated Press and Equilar. The median pay for employees at these companies was in the high $70,000 range, the outlet points out, meaning that they would need to work 186 years to catch up to what the executive made in just one year.
Stars might not be just like us, but their bosses seem to be not all that different.
